If we win 2 or 3 games this coming stretch after the bye week I will be satisfied. Of course I would love it if the vikings get into the Playoffs, but you have to consider the jump we have already made from last year to this year.

The Seattle and Tampa Bay losses could be critical if we stay in the running for a playoff berth.

Those will come back to haunt us, mark my words.

Neither have many games you'd expect them to win. 9-7 might actually be good enough for us to get in.

I disagree, the Seahawks only have two games left against above .500 teams, I'd put money on them being 10-6, which means we would have to win 5 of our last 6 to make it.

Luckily for us, all 6 of our games are at noon, and we are actually 5-1 in noon games this year. That being said, I seriously doubt we finish better than 9-7 (I'm working on a mock that plays out this scenario), which would still be incredible compared to last year and would give us a ton of hope for the future.

We split our division games, Houston rests their squad having locked down HFA, and we get a win over a team we should beat in the Rams.

Most realistic scenario: 9-7

We play hot off our bye and go 2-1 through our first 3 games. Injuries, inexperience and depth catch up to us tho and we drop 2 the last 3. We miss out on the playoffs because of critical loses to Tampa and Seattle.

Worst case: 8-8

Not bad for a team 3-13 just the year before. After the bye we go 2-4 with wins coming against St. Louis and Chicago at home._________________2015 - In Zimmer We Trust.
